Delta Force has captivated thousands of players for 2 months. In February, the Battlefield competitor is set to receive a cooperative campaign.
What game is it? Delta Force is a free-to-play shooter that was released in December 2024 on Steam and the Epic Games Store. Even before its release, there were initial comparisons to Battlefield, as Delta Force features large maps, vehicles, and PvP with up to 64 players and destructible buildings.
In addition to the Battlefield-style PvP mode, there is an Extraction mode similar to DMZ from Call of Duty. It was already clear that Delta Force would also receive a cooperative campaign, which adapts the events of a real rescue mission that also inspired an award-winning film.
As a new teaser trailer reveals, the campaign will be released on February 21:
What movie is it based on? The campaign of Delta Force adapts the events of the Battle of Mogadishu, during which 18 US soldiers lost their lives in October 1993. This battle also served as the basis for the award-winning war film “Black Hawk Down,” directed by Ridley Scott.
The film is about the attempted rescue of the crew of a “Black Hawk” helicopter that was shot down and crashed while returning from a mission over Mogadishu. The rescue posed significant challenges for American forces.
The film was nominated for 4 Oscars in 2002, winning in the categories of “Best Sound” and “Best Editing.”
How is Delta Force received? Quite moderately. With almost 76,000 reviews on Steam, only 68% are positive. Nevertheless, the shooter has maintained an average of over 70,000 concurrent players since December. On January 19, Delta Force hit a peak of 131,000 players (via SteamDB).
